Hygenco and Mitsubishi Power Partner to Develop Green Hydrogen and Ammonia-Fired Power Plants in India and Japan
Key Ideas
  • Hygenco and Mitsubishi Power have entered an MOU to explore green hydrogen and ammonia-fired GTCC power plants in India, Japan, and globally.
  • Mitsubishi will use Hygenco's green fuel to develop commercially viable hydrogen and ammonia production assets, supporting decarbonisation.
  • The collaboration is praised for its contribution to climate change mitigation and sustainable growth by promoting international cooperation.
  • Hygenco's upcoming large-scale ammonia project at Tata Steel's GIP aims to produce 1.1 million tonnes per year of the hydrogen carrier.
Hygenco Green Energies and Mitsubishi Power have announced a partnership to investigate the development of green hydrogen and ammonia-fired gas turbine combined cycle (GTCC) power plants. Under a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU), the two companies aim to provide sustainable solutions in countries like India and Japan, as well as other locations worldwide. Hygenco will be responsible for supplying the green fuel required for the GTCC technology, while Mitsubishi Power will focus on developing and deploying scaled-up, commercially viable green hydrogen and ammonia production assets. Saito Mitsunori from JICA India expressed the organization's commitment to supporting green hydrogen technology advancements and praised the collaboration between Hygenco and Mitsubishi Heavy Industries (MHI) for its efforts in addressing climate change and promoting sustainable growth. Mitsubishi, having previously engaged in feasibility studies on co-firing plants with hydrogen and ammonia in Indonesia, is now expanding its involvement in hydrogen-firing projects worldwide. Hygenco's CEO, Amit Bansal, highlighted that the partnership will leverage expertise in green hydrogen and ammonia to support the decarbonisation of power generation. Additionally, Hygenco has unveiled plans for a significant ammonia project at Tata Steel's GIP, with the goal of producing 1.1 million tonnes per year of the hydrogen carrier. The collaboration signifies a step forward in the advancement of green energy solutions and showcases the importance of international cooperation in the transition towards sustainable practices.
